Applying iteration to everything

Applying iteration to everything removes the barrier of fear and judgment. It also enables faster cycles, and it makes miscues far less damaging.



For example, don't write a large plan, only write the first step. Trust that you'll know better how to proceed after something is released. Iteration can be uncomfortable, even painful. If you're doing iteration correctly, it should be.



Instilling this in an all-remote team is difficult. Most people are naturally inclined to only showcase polished work. In turn, managing this aspect of an all-remote team requires reminders that it's preferred to share unfinished work.



 Leaders should work diligently to ensure that teams have a low level of shame and believe that everything is in draft and subject to change.
